Chapter 166 Back to the door
Cheng Ke was instantly in a trance when she laughed, subconsciously stretched out his two hands, and suddenly came to his senses again, hurriedly put down his hand, turned his back to his back, and coughed lightly and turned his head to look at the girl standing around him.
Li Xiaonuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she stared at Cheng Ke thoughtfully for a moment, a faint smile oozing from the corner of her mouth.
The two slowly walked into the courtyard side by side, Li Xiaonuan waited diligently for Cheng Ke to go to the big clothes outside, watched the little girl wait for him to go into the clean room to bathe and wash, took the needle and thread, leaned on the pillow, and slowly embroidered the lotus leaf lotus.
Cheng Ke bathed out and sat on the couch, Li Xiaonuan took the handkerchief handed over by the little girl, and slowly twisted Cheng Ke's hair, Cheng Ke stretched his arms comfortably, reached out and took the flower bandage that Li Xiaonuan put on the table, looked at it carefully, and asked with a smile:
"You embroidered it?"
"Hmm."
Li Xiaonuan straightened up, crossed Cheng Ke's shoulder, looked at the needle and thread in his hand, a smile overflowed from his eyes, his face was full of smiles, Cheng Ke shook off the white silk, looked at it, turned his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan and asked:
"Make a veil?"
"It's not."
Li Xiaonuan smiled even more, lowered her eyes, dragged out her voice, and replied slowly, Cheng Ke looked at her suspiciously, and asked with a hint of vigilance:
"What are you laughing at?"
"What can I laugh at, what can I laugh at? Mother confessed, saying that you are restless in sleep, and it is better to ...... That, saying that you used to sleep, you always wore a belly pocket...... Well, here's it, ...... made for you."
Li Xiaonuan suppressed the smile on his face, his voice was low, dragging a vague tail, and said very seriously, in the end, he hung his head and laughed sullenly, the more he laughed, the more he laughed, he couldn't stand up with his laughter, his head rested on Cheng Ke's back, and the handkerchief in his hand also slid to the ground.
Cheng Ke was stunned for a moment before he reacted, holding the flower bandage in his hand, he froze there, his face was purple, staring at Li Xiaonuan, who was overwhelmed with joy, and slowly turned his head, looking at the several lotus leaves and lotus flowers in his hand that were exquisitely embroidered, only to feel as if he had fallen into the mud under the lotus leaves and lotus flowers again.
The next day, it was the day when Li Xiaonuan returned to the door, early in the morning, Mama Sun watched people prepare a return gift and loaded it into the car, Li Xiaonuan followed Cheng Ke to the main courtyard and the princess resigned, went out of the second door, got in the car, and went to the ancient mansion.
When he arrived at the ancient mansion, the car entered the gate, Cheng Ke looked down at Li Xiaonuan, who was looking out with the curtain lifted, and said in a low voice:
"At noon, let's come out early, I'll take you to Defu Building for dinner, the dumplings in Defu Building are also passable."
Li Xiaonuan turned his head, his eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, and agreed with a smile,
"Good"
Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile on his face slightly distracted, only to feel that the heat in his heart rushed up again, last night, he hugged her, she was in his arms, and in his dreams, how many days will it take for her body to get better? When will he be relieved of this torment, alas?
The car paused and stopped, Li Xiaonuan straightened up and motioned to Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke jumped out of the car with a stiff face, Gu Xiao Chang saluted and led him into the main hall.
The car slowly went in again, and stopped in the second gate, Zhu Qing lifted the curtain and helped Li Xiaonuan get out of the car, Gu Yunhuan and Yan Wan greeted them with smiles on their faces, Gu Yunhuan walked a few steps, took Li Xiaonuan's hand, and looked her up and down carefully, Yan Wan stopped two steps away from Li Xiaonuan, and bowed respectfully.
Gu Yunhuan pulled Li Xiaonuan, and while walking inside, he leaned over Li Xiaonuan's ear, and asked in a low and worried voice:
"Xiao Nuan, he ...... to you Good no good? ”
"Well, it's good, don't worry, second sister, it's all right."
Li Xiaonuan nodded with a smile and replied, Gu Yunhuan tilted his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, seeing that her expression was peaceful, there was a faint smile in her eyes, she let out a long sigh of relief, raised her hand and patted her chest,
"That's good, that's good, I've been worried for days."
Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold her arm, turned around, beckoned Yan Wan, and the three of them walked into Chunzhu Courtyard side by side with a smile.
Mrs. Zhou stood in front of the door of the main house to greet Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stepped forward and bent her knees to salute, and Gu Yunhuan helped her into the east chamber left and right, Yan Wan took the tea in the little girl's tray, served it one by one, and commanded the girl's mother-in-law, put a table full of snacks, and let Li Xiaonuan smile with a smile.
Li Xiaonuan watched Yan Wan finish her work, let her sit on the edge of the couch, and several people accompanied Mrs. Zhou to gossip for a while, Mrs. Zhou looked at Li Xiaonuan, pointed at Yan Wan and said with a smile:
"Since last night, Xiao's daughter-in-law has been thinking about talking to you, okay, don't talk to me here as an elderly person, go, go, go to the garden, go to Xiao's daughter-in-law's yard and talk freely, go, go."
The three of them stood up with a smile, said goodbye, and walked out of Chunzhu Courtyard, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Yan Wan, and said with a smile:
"I want to go and offer incense to my ancestors."
"I'm going to go too, let's go together."
Gu Yunhuan hurriedly took over the conversation and said, Yan Wan smiled and agreed, instructed the maid to prepare things, and the three of them went to Mingyuan Hall.
Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan put on incense, turned out of the mourning hall, stood in the courtyard and looked around, Gu Yunhuan whispered a little sadly:
"Look at it, this Mingyuan Hall, it's only been empty for three or two days, and it makes people feel bleak."
Yan Wan hurriedly turned around, looked around, and said with a smile:
"Where's the bleakness? Sixian came to worship the ancestors every day, and I also came over the next day to check, how dare the girl in this yard be careless, where is the second sister looking bad? ”
Li Xiaonuan laughed, stretched out her hand to pull Yan Wan, and said with a smile:
"You pay attention to her, she just likes to be sad and sad, usually when she is at home, she can be sad for half a day"
Gu Yunhuan also laughed, turned his head to look at Yan Wan, and said with a smile:
"I'm just casually talking about it, in the past, there were ancestors in this courtyard, how much it was lively, but now, there are only a few pillars of fragrance left."
Li Xiaonuan gently pushed her and said with a smile:
"Look at you, on a good day like today, how can you say sad things?"
Gu Yunhuan sighed softly, nodded with a smile,
"It's mine, it's not."
After a pause, Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan, lowered his voice slightly, and continued:
"Why don't we go to the back of the Smoke Tree Pavilion and have a look? It's been empty for more than half a year, and I don't know what happened. ”
"Okay."
Yan Wan hurriedly took over the conversation with a smile,
"Sixian sacrificed to the ancestors every day, and he had to go to Yanshuxuan to see, and I also went to it once or twice, in the house, the one with the best scenery, Sixian said, it was originally Xiao Nuan's sister's yard, it was really beautiful."
Li Xiaonuan frowned slightly, glanced at Gu Yunhuan, turned her head to look at Yan Wan, and said with a smile:
"Yanshuxuan's houses are hidden in the flowers, when I originally lived there, I felt that the yard was too yin, and then the ancestor was sick, I moved out, and never went back to live, that place, or should build a more spacious pavilion, the atmosphere is bright, there is no yin, open the windows in summer, you can take advantage of the cool wind, and enjoy the plum in the pavilion in winter, better"
Gu Yunhuan frowned slightly, looked at Li Xiaonuan thoughtfully, stayed for a moment, and nodded with a smile.
"That's a good idea, it's exactly what I thought."
Yan Wan smiled and nodded,
"This is a good idea, and it's easy, and when I go back, I'll let people demolish Yanshuxuan and build a two-story warm pavilion, so that people can rush to work, maybe this winter, I can invite two aunts and grandmothers to enjoy the plum blossoms in the warm pavilion."
The three of them laughed and turned out of Mingyuan Hall and walked towards the courtyard where Yan Wan lived.
At noon, Cheng Ke asked people to come in, Li Xiaonuan went to Chunzhu Courtyard to quit Mrs. Zhou, Gu Yunhuan and Yan Wan sent Li Xiaonuan to the second gate, helped her get into the car, watched the car turn around and couldn't see it, and then turned around and went back.
Cheng Ke got into the car at the gate, and the car left the ancient mansion and drove towards Defu Building.
Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and said in a low voice:
"Well, there's something."
"What's the matter? You name it. ”
Cheng Ke moved forward, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Li Xiaonuan's waist, and said gently, Li Xiaonuan lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Ke's hand that touched her waist from behind, the hand looked well-proportioned and powerful, white and delicate, with slender fingers, and a mutton fat white jade plate finger on the big finger, which was slowly twisting the silk silk around her waist.
"Well, what are you going to say?"
Cheng Ke leaned his head to Li Xiaonuan's ear, and asked in a low voice, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly removed his gaze from Cheng Ke's hand, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile:
"It's not a big deal, before the ancestor left, he gave me the forty-seven shops in her dowry, I thought, although this is a piece of the ancestor's heart for me, but it is always ...... It's not good, just the day before the wedding, I handed over these shops to the Yan family, and just now the Yan family gave the shops to me, saying that it was, what Prime Minister Yan meant. ”
In the end, Li Xiaonuan's voice slowed down, Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Xiaonuan and asked in a low voice:
"These shops were originally in your charge, how much income does one have?"
"Well, I have been in charge of it for the past two years, and the year before last year and last year, there was almost 400,000 taels of silver per year."
Li Xiaonuan said softly, Cheng Ke was slightly stunned, took a breath lightly, thought for a moment, looked down at Li Xiaonuan, and asked slowly:
"Old Madam Li, do you have something on your mind?"
"Hmm."
Li Xiaonuan agreed in a low voice, Cheng Ke wrung his brows, pondered for a long time, and his subordinates gently forced, grabbed Li Xiaonuan, leaned over her ear, and said gently:
"Well, I know, with me, you can keep the silver."
Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and laughed,
"Where can I use so much silver, you ......"
Cheng Ke looked down at Li Xiaonuan, raised his hand to press her mouth, and said with a smile:
"If you don't need it, just pile it up in your treasury, this is your dowry, and no one can touch it."
